The LMP Message Type name space should be allocated as follows:
pursuant to the policies outlined in [RFC2434], the numbers in the
range 0-127 are allocated by Standards Action, 128-240 are allocated
through an Expert Review, and 241-255 are reserved for Private Use.
It might be good to expand on expert review just a bit. Is the
intention that anyone can get one an allocation? Allocations only for
stuff that will clearly eventually be published as an RFC? What sort
of review is the expert expected to do? The more text one can give
here, the less confusion there will be later should people disagree
with the decision of the expert.
The LMP Sub-object Class name space should be allocated as follows:
pursuant to the policies outlined in [RFC2434], the numbers in the
range of 0-127 are allocated by Standards Action, 128-247 are
allocated through an Expert Review, and 248-255 are reserved for
Private Use.
seems wrong. the sub-object assignment policy should be determined by
the Class. I.e., when you create a class, you define what the policy
should be for sub-classes. For some sub-classes, FCFS might be fine,
for others maybe only standards action. One-size fits all doesn't seem
right. I'd suggest something like:
The policy for allocating values out of the LMP Sub-object Class
name space is part of the defintion of the specific Class
instance. When a Class is defined, its definition must also include
a description of the policy underwhich sub-objects are allocated.
note: that also means this needs to be done for all of the sub-objects
that are defined in this document.
wouldn't the document be shorter if the policy sentence continued
The LMP Object Class type name space should be allocated as follows:
pursuant to the policies outlined in [RFC2434], the numbers in the
range 0-111 are allocated by Standards Action, 112-119 are allocated
through an Expert Review, and 120-127 are reserved for Private Use.
